Get your taxes done using TurboTax

No, income from paid family leave isn't a business, but the income that you receive from your participation is taxable. The income is reported ‌as "Other Income" instead of self-employment income. You will have to delete the original 1099-MISC and re-enter it.

 

 Follow the navigation instructions in the TurboTax Help article Where do I enter a 1099-MISC?

 

  1. Delete the 1099-MISC form that you already entered by selecting the trash can
  2. Enter the 1099-MISC again
  3. When you get to the screen that asks you Does one of these common situations apply? Select None of these apply
  4. Select  No that it didn’t involve work like your main job
  5. Select how often you received the money
  6. Select No it didn’t involve the intent to earn money.

Your income will appear on line 8 of Schedule 1 of your 1040 as Other Income.
